Peterson’s kindness in coming to perform with little notice, at a time when our meeting was working with transgender issues, was indeed a blessing. We at Adelphi appreciate his generosity and skill in communicating important information in an accessible and moving way.

Peterson graced William Penn House with his humor, his passion and his leading to share his journey of self and faith. 47 Friends and friends gathered on this Tuesday evening and did not want to leave. His ministry was shared with Friends from at least 6 monthly meetings. Friends traveled from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. His stories were poignant, insightful, touching, real and full of joy and sadness. We hear truth we are enriched.

-Bryan Sandford, William Penn House
